Mankind always sympathizes with
those in distress. - The history oC our
country shows thai wheu ever a ca
lamity overtakes ,a community -and
there is human suffering, the comma
iliti.es not afflicted stand , ready ,to
help. ; That there is, wide-spread auf
feriug among several classes, in por-
- tions of tho North is plain; and that
- the people should sympathize? and
1 help appear equally plain.9; If proper
appeals are made we cannot - believe
that they ? will be unheeded. That
tlie grievances bf the laboring classes,
in many instances, are only -toa -.well
founded, it is useless to deny; but the
means adopted cannot as certainly se
cure the desired relief. When the stri
kers G ret took their position they were
only exercising a right that belongs
to them and to all men rthe right to
complain, the right to ask for an in
crease of wages, the right to refuse
to work at the reduced pay.' Thus
-far they exercised tjieir right as citi
zens, and the who
e country would
have sympathized
with : their comr
plaints -if they : had ! stopped; here.
But in a brief time the work of
gression i. began, .and theasfollowed
the destruction of property, the wild
i est scenes of dismay and havoc, cul-
minating finally irfT'f earful collisions
ersons are known to have been killed I
r . and wounded in the several riota that
have thus far occurred, and in Pitts
burg and vicinity alone the destruo
tton' of . property ' amounts to oyer
eleven million dollars.' The damage
to the trading interests of the coun
try is incalculable, tnd r already pro
-V, visions in some of the cities.' are be
ginjiing to ad vauce. This, last item
